For UK investors, the PSA 10 spread (£188.44 vs £45.58) reveals grading ROI potential on the Japanese copy—a 314% upside if PSA 10 parity were approached. However, liquidity risk dominates: English raw prices dropped 18% in seven days while Japanese remained stable at £6.90, suggesting tighter English demand beneath headline prices. Japanese copies offer lower entry cost and volatility shelter; arbitrage plays require confidence in closing the EN premium, not just capturing it.
